Docks at the Capitol has been up and running for a little over a year now.  Once a department store, the Capitol building has since been turned into a 35,000 square foot entertainment complex.  You would be hard pressed to find anything else like it around.

      Docks is truly unique.  A family establishment where adults and kids alike can come and both have fun.  There is something for everyone no matter what their age.  Nowwhere else will you find a two level facility with two bars, two distinct eating areas, a vast variety of foods on the menu and entertainment galore for all ages.

     Downstairs there is a lot going on.  Most of the area spans the "arcade" area with over 100 games including basketball hoops and skee-ball.  Not to mention our roller coaster simulator.  When you are done playing your points can be cashed in for prizes at the redemption center.  Head over to their four lane bowling alley or Derby Owner's Club for even more fun.

     The downstairs also houses three party rooms perfect for any party from a children's birthday party to any small gathering that requires a private room.  The other half of the downstairs is dedicated to our Southern Bird Cage Tequila and Martini Resturant.  Its menu offers more Southern faire and the bar specialized in a large variety of tequilas, specialty martinis as well as mojitos, maragaritas and sangrias.

     Don't think that the kids get to have all the fun.  Upstairs is the Docks Sports Bar.  Here is where the pool tables are, as well as ping pong, fooze ball, darts, virtual golf and shuffle board.  Here is also where you will find our second bar, three large screen panels that span the video wall and more than 20 smaller High Definition tvs placed throughout.

     The upstairs also houses Docks Capitol Room.  This room is used for many events including weddings, receptions and large scale business meetings.   The whole building is non-smoking and has free wi-fi.

     All of this takes place under the subervision of our top notch managerial team. Heading off this team is Keith Burkett, General Manager.  He has been in the resturant business for over 20 years.  He has worked for prestigious establishments including the Hollywood Palladium, Kincaids, Cheesecake Factory, Spargos Beverly Hills, and Dave and Busters-a nationwide franchise that Docks is modeled after.  Keith has also had the opportunity to rub elbows as a personal chef with the likes of Danny Devito, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Brittney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and more.  With all this hop nobbing and high profile jobs one would wonder why Kieth has choosen to come to Fayetteville and manage Docks.

"I was asked to come here and help assist in the start up of a business similar to Dave and Busters.  My intent was not to be here this long.  Dr. Henderson (Docks Owner) and Fayetteville both grew on me."

     Keith is supported by his team of managers that bring to the table their expertise and experience of their assigned fields:

Randal "RJ" Proehl-Service Manager

      Randal start out by going to Culinary School in PA where he recieved a Associates Degree in Hospitality Managment.  After that he went to work for Embassy Suites starting as a server and advancing his way up to Resturant Manager.  Worked at Lonestar as a shift leader before making his way to Docks where he started as a bartender and made his way to Service/Training Manager.  As an added benefit, Randal has a solid background in all of the extensive programs used by the resturant business.

Catherine Lietz-Specail Events Coordinator

     The Capitol building also houses some retail business.  Through the front entrance and down the corridor there is five retail spaces: Rita's Italian Ice, Docks Party Store, Jewerly Pleasures, Glitch Skate Shop and Pampering Spa.

     Fayetteville is growing in leaps and bounds with the influx of people from all over the country.  How will these people see Docks?

Keith says "I believe that Docks is the greatest thing to ever come to a city like this, which is a true family town and Docks is a true family spot for both young and old."
